ARCATA — The City Council will meet today to consider extending the Arcata Endeavor’s lease for one extra year, a request that first came before the council back in February.

One of the main reasons cited for the proposed extension is a Federal Emergency Shelter Grant requirement that the nonprofit maintain “site control” of the building owned by the city throughout the term of the proposed FESG grant.

The Endeavor, which leases the building at 501 Ninth St., provides hot meals, food boxes, case management, showers and job listings among other services.

The council is scheduled to consider the request and provide direction to staff. The proposed extension is from Oct. 31, 2008, to Dec. 31, 2009.

In other business, the council will consider holding a public hearing June 6 about a proposed increase to water and wastewater charges for the 2007/2008 fiscal year and having notices sent to property owners.

Also on the agenda is the consideration of a resolution that would limit vendors in public parks to special events.

The 7 p.m. regular meeting will take place at City Hall, 736 F Street.
